All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

We were the only Japanese family there. There were people from various countries, and some had babies with them. Since we also had a one-year-old, it was reassuring. The weather was just perfect, and the sea breeze felt great. Everyone around us was enjoying Mai Tais and having a good time. We sped quite far out to sea, and the splashes of water were amazing. It was definitely the right choice to wear swimsuits. Our five-year-old son was sitting at the front and was super excited. Luckily, we even encountered a sea turtle, which was a nice surprise. The captain looked a lot like Brad Pitt and was very handsome.

I would love to go on this trip again when I visit Hawaii. I want to recommend it to others as well.

日本人は私たち家族だけでした。
いろんな国の人達がいて、赤ちゃん連れもいました。うちにも1歳児がいたので安心しました。
ちょうど天気も良くて、海風が気持ちよかったです。周りの人達は皆んなマイタイを飲んでいい感じに盛り上がっていました。かなり沖合までスピードを上げて行くので水しぶきが凄かったです。水着を着て行き正解でした。また5歳の息子は先頭に座ってハイテンションでした。運良く、海亀にも遭遇出来てラッキーでした。キャプテンがブラピ似でとてもイケメンでした。笑

またハワイに行ったら乗船したいと思います。
周りの人にも勧めたいです。

I booked the longest time to be in the air, but it was almost the same as those who booked for a shorter time. The person piloting the boat had something like a reservation card, but they didn't check it, and it felt quite casual. The parasailing itself was a lot of fun. Next time, I think I might try booking with another tour company after arriving in Hawaii.

一番長い間空中にいるものを予約しましたが、短い時間を予約した方とほとんど変わりませんでした。船を操縦している人が予約カードのようなものを持っていましたが、確認もしていなくてアバウトな感じでした。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったです。今度はハワイに到着してから他のツアー会社で頼もうかな、と感じました。

Did a semi-private lesson with two friends which was perfect. Jordan man, so good, he was an amazing instructor, kind and supportive and super friendly, and he got us all up on our boards and surfing on our own within the first hour. The day was bright, waves were slow but incoming, and the view of Waikiki from the water was unforgettable! Thanks to Hans Hedemann Surf School and HawaiiActivities.com. Ah man, such a great way to spend the morning.

It was really fun, but although it said there would be a Japanese instructor, there wasn't anyone who could speak at all. I was scared to go out to sea without understanding the explanations at all. I managed to do it by mimicking others, so that was good.

すごくたのしかったけど、日本語インストラクターと書いてあったけど、一切話せる人はいなかった。説明がまったく、わからないまま海に出ることが怖かった。見よう見まねでやってみてできたからよかったけど。

Couldn't have had a better first time experience. From the pick-up to drop-off...everything was excellent and very professional.

I opted for the buffet style, and the food was delicious. I was able to talk with the people around me, the hula was great, and the show featuring Elvis was cool, with wonderful singing. Of course, Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson were also amazing.

ビュッフェ形式にしましたが、料理も美味しかったし、周りの人達とも話せたしフラも良かったし、ショーもエルビスが格好良かったのと歌もすばらしかったです。
勿論、ガガ、マイケルジャクソンも最高でしたよ。

I usually use rental cars, but since I broke my leg and needed a wheelchair for my trip, I used the shuttle service for the first time. On the day of my travel, they provided a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, which was really helpful.

いつもレンタカー利用ですが、足を骨折し車椅子使用の旅行でしたので、初めて送迎シャトルを利用しました。当日は車椅子対応車を用意して頂き本当に助かりました。

Come do this activity after you've been partaking a little too much on the first days of your vacation! Earlier is better due to the heat. Superb views of nearly a third of the island!

I was worried about the height, but choosing 150 meters was the right decision! The weather was clear, and the view was amazing!! My spouse and I had a great time (laughs). I was concerned because reviews mentioned that the pickup bus can be late, but it arrived on time, and the driver, although he didn't speak Japanese, was very nice. I definitely recommend 150 meters for those who are unsure. It became a wonderful memory!

高さを悩みましたが150メートルにして正解でした！
快晴だったため、とても気持ちよく景色が最高でした！！夫婦二人ではしゃぎました(笑)
迎えのバスが口コミでは遅れることがあると書かれていたので心配でしたが、時間通りでドライバーさんも日本語は通じませんがとてもいいかたでした。悩まれるかたは絶対に150メートルをおすすめします。とてもいい思い出になりました！

I experienced this with my 10-year-old child. The view was perfect, and we even got to play in the sea for a bit, which made my child very excited. I highly recommend it!

10歳の子供と体験しました。
眺めもバッチリで途中、海にもポッチャリさせてもらたりして子供もおおはしゃぎでした。
是非オススメです。

I participated with six friends, and the service was prompt. They were able to communicate in a bit of Japanese, and above all, the guide was handsome (laughs). If there's another opportunity, I would love to join again!

友人6人で参加しましたが、対応も迅速で多少の日本語で対応して頂けましたし、なんといってもガイドのお兄さんがハンサムでした(笑)
機会があればまた宜しくお願いします！

I was guided directly to the bus stop, but the wait time was long. Additionally, the waiting area was hot. Could you please consider this a bit more?

バス乗り場まですぐ案内していただきましたが、待ち時間が長かったです。
それに待っている場所も暑かったです。
もう少し考えていただけないでしょうか＞

The weather was great, and the view was amazing! I got a little seasick, but while flying, it felt so good that I almost forgot about it!

お天気も良くて最高の景色でした‼︎
少し船酔いしてしまいましたが、飛んでると気持ち良くて忘れるくらいでした‼︎

I participated alone this time. Therefore, I ended up paragliding with two Japanese women who were also on the tour. As mentioned in the posted experiences, I referenced the note about wanting to try 150 meters next, and even though it was my first time paragliding, I decided to challenge myself with the 150 meters.

The moment the parasail lifted off from the boat was a bit scary, but after that, it was so much fun, and I was able to enjoy a fantastic view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky. At 150 meters, the flying time was quite long, and I was very satisfied. I was able to have a casual conversation with the women I flew with, which was nice, but for those who might feel a bit uneasy about flying with others, I recommend participating in groups of two to three.

私は、今回一人で参加しました。そのため、ツアーに参加されていた日本人女性の方２人と一緒にパラセイリングで飛ぶことになりました。
投稿されている体験談にもあったように、１５０mを次はトライしたいと書いてあったのを参考に、初めてのパラセイリングでしたが１５０mに挑戦しました。
最初の船からパラセイルがふわっと浮く瞬間はちょっと怖かったですが、そのあとは、とっても楽しく、また空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドが一望でき、とても素敵な体験ができました。１５０mだと飛んでる時間もかなり長く、大満足です。今回一緒に飛んでくださった女性の方とはフランクにいろいろお話できたので、よかったですが、他の方と飛ぶのはちょっと、、、、という方は、２名〜３名での参加をおすすめいたします。

The weather was great on the day, and we had a wonderful experience!

During our time there, we were the only Japanese participants, while the other four groups were all foreigners. We didn't speak much English and felt a bit lost trying to keep up with the conversations between the local guide and the other participants, but the important thing was that the guide communicated in simple English and some Japanese, which made it enjoyable for us. In fact, the other four groups were couples, and we were a duo of two women, so we ended up interacting with them quite a bit... right? (laughs)

We signed up for the 130 meters height. However, I’m not sure what height the others signed up for or if we really did the 130 meters. It felt like we flew longer than expected, and it was fun. The view was truly spectacular!! Just be aware that even if you say you don’t want to get wet, they will pretend to drop you into the sea. It was fun in the end, though! (laughs)

As others mentioned, photos are taken for $30. We considered asking other participants to take our pictures, but we couldn't bring ourselves to do it with the foreigners. (laughs) Of course, some of the photos were blurry, but they took about 80 pictures and a few videos, so we were really satisfied! I think there might be some variation in the number of photos, but they burn the CD right there and hand it to you, so there's no waiting.

While preferences for height may vary, I’m really glad I got to go parasailing! I recommend it to anyone who is considering it!＼(^o^)／

当日は天候にも恵まれ、とてもいい経験ができました！

私たちが参加した時間は、日本人は私たちだけで他の4組はみんな外国の方でした。私たちはあまり英語ができず、現地ガイドさんと周りの参加者たちの会話についていけずぽかーんというかんじでしたが、大事なことはガイドさんが覚えた日本語や簡単な英語で楽しく伝えてくれたため問題ありませんでした。むしろ周り4組はカップルで私たちは女性2人組みだったので多く絡んでもらえたような・・・？笑

高さは130Ｍで申し込みました。が、他の方が何Ｍで申し込んだのか、私たちがほんとに130Ｍだったのかはわかりません。思っていたより長く飛んでいた気がして楽しかったです。本当に絶景です！！ただ、濡れたくないと言っても海に落とすふりしてぽちゃんとしてきます。結果楽しかったですが笑

写真は他の方たちも記載していたように30ドルで撮ってくれます。他の参加者に撮ってもらおうとも考えましたが外国の方たちには頼むことができませんでした。笑　もちろんピンボケしている写真もありますが、約80枚の写真と少しの動画も撮ってくれたので本当に満足です！写真の量には差があるとも思いますが・・・ＣＤその場で焼いて渡してくれるので待つこともありません。

高さは好みもあるかと思いますが、パラセイリングができたことは本当によかったです！
悩んでる人にはおすすめです＼(^o^)／

Catamarans depart from the beach between the Sheraton and Halekulani. For just a little over $30, you can sail out to sea and enjoy views of Waikiki, which might be a good deal. Beer and sparkling wine are sold on board for $5.

シェラトンとハレクラニの間の浜からカタマランは出ます。30ドルちょっとで沖までセイリングしてワイキキを見られるのは安いかもね。船上でビール、泡が5ドルで売ってます。

I use Roberts Hawaii every time, both for arrival and departure. Since it's a shuttle service, as long as the timing is precise, I can easily and comfortably arrive at the airport or hotel without any hassle. I have never had any issues with the hotel to airport transfer.

毎回、行きも帰りもロバーツ・ハワイさんを利用してます。
送迎ですので、時間がきっちりしていれば特に面倒なく楽に空港やホテルに到着できてます。
ホテル→空港で今まで問題は一度もありません。

I use this service every time between the airport and the hotel. This time, I waited for the bus at the airport for about 30 minutes for the first time. Also, it took an hour to reach the hotel due to the hotel drop-offs (since I was the last one). As someone who knows the roads in Honolulu to some extent, I have some doubts about the route taken to drop off at the hotels (like passing the same roads multiple times and going past hotels where people were getting off). However, since I'm just riding and not in a hurry, the convenience is a plus. I wonder if the driver was inexperienced?

毎回空港とホテル間で利用してます。
今回初めて空港で30分ほどバス待ちしました。
また、同乗の方のホテル巡回でホテル到着まで1時間かかりました。（最後だったので）
ホノルルの道をある程度知っている私としては、ホテルを回るルートが違うのでは？とちょっと疑問（同じ道を数回通ったり、降りる方がいるホテルを通過して後回しになったり...）も残りますが、乗ってるだけで急いでもいないので楽なのが売りです。
ドライバーさん経験浅かったかな？

Rain excluded all views. Otherwise nice hike. Driver courteous and informative

カタマランはワイキキビーチから出航するため、アクセスがとても便利。
ポイントで停まり、海に入るとすぐ目の前に海亀と魚たちが泳ぎ廻っていました。
シュノーケリングを充分堪能し、ボートに戻ると、水とサンドイッチのサービス。
その後、ワイキキビーチ沖をクルージング。
目の見張るような海の蒼さに大感動。この値段以上の価値のあるツアーでした。
参加する際、泳ぎが苦手な方はライフジャケットを準備する必要があります。備え付けはヌードルだけでした。また、クルージングの際、風を切って走行するのでジャケット持参がお勧めです。

It was my first time using a domestic flight, but I felt reassured by the warm welcome at the airport. If I have the opportunity again, I definitely want to use it.

国内線での利用は初めてでしたが、空港でのお出迎えがあり安心しました。
また機会が有れば、必ず利用したいと思います。

My wife and I participated together. The course I chose involved dining outside before watching the show, but even during our meal, the hula dancers we saw before entertained us by coming around the tables to sing and dance. The staff was also very hospitable, making it enjoyable even before the show started. The location was easy to find on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and of course, the show was fantastic.

家内と二人で参加しました。私が選んだｺｰｽは、外で食事をしてからｼｮｰを見るものでしたが、食事の前に見たﾌﾗﾀﾞﾝｽの人たちが食事中もﾃｰﾌﾞﾙを回って歌や踊りを見せてくれたり、ｽﾀｯﾌもﾎｽﾋﾟﾀﾘﾃｨ溢れていて、ｼｮｰを見る前から楽しめます。場所もﾛﾔﾙﾊﾜｲｱﾝｾﾝﾀｰ４階と分かり易く、勿論ｼｮｰも最高でした。

I entered the restaurant at 6:30 PM and enjoyed dinner on the terrace while chatting with a Japanese person at the next table. The food was just average; it wasn't particularly delicious or bad. However, incorporating hula into the experience made it truly enjoyable. So, the food didn't really matter. From 8:00 PM, there was a fun showtime featuring well-structured performances with songs and dances from Gaga, Michael, and Elvis. It was seriously fun! At the end, we took a photo together, which became a nice memory. Thank you! The Elvis impersonator and the photo with my daughter were great.

18：30に入店し、テラスでディナーをしていると相席の日本人の方とお話しながら、お食事を進めました。お食事は　まぁ普通で特に美味しいとかまずいとかはないです。でも、フラを間に取り入れてくれて本当に楽しい時間でした。だから、食事はどうでもよかったです。２０：００からは楽しいショウータイムで、ガガ、マイケル、エルビスと歌に踊りにフラによく構成された内容でした。マジ！！楽しかったです。最後は　写真を一緒に撮ってくれて、思い出になりました。サンキュー♪　エルビスのそっくりさん、娘とのフォトGOODでしたよ。

Such an awesome experience! Would definitely do it again!!

Every time I come to Hawaii recently, I ride on the Mai Tai Catamaran. This was my third sailing.

The first sailing was last September, and we went towards Diamond Head with a pleasant breeze. Perhaps because there were many children on board, they lowered the stairs and provided time for those who wanted to swim.

The second time was in January this year for the sunset sailing. We were lucky to see a whale during the beautiful sunset in Waikiki!

For the third time, this September, the wind was strong and we were sailing fast (with only the mainsail). Depending on the location of the yacht, we got completely soaked. In no time, we could see Coco Head near the lighthouse behind Diamond Head. Along the way, flying fish were jumping, and after making a U-turn, the wind calmed down, and we unfurled the jib sail to head out to Ala Moana. We saw dolphins jumping! Near the Sheraton, a turtle popped its head up to say hello! It was the best sailing experience.

Each time is different depending on the season and wind conditions, so I'm always satisfied! I want to ride again next time.

ここ最近ハワイに来る度にマイタイカタマランに乗ってます。今回3回目のsailingでした。

1回目のセーリングは、去年の9月で 心地よい風でダイヤモンドヘッドの方まで行き 子供がたくさん乗っていたからか？階段を降ろして 泳ぎたい人は 泳げる時間を設けてくれました。

2回目は、今年の1月サンセットセーリング。美しい夕焼け ワイキキなのに まさかの クジラ！クジラが見れるなんてラッキーでした。

3回目は、今回9月で 風が強くビュンビュン（メインセイルのみの帆走）ヨットのいる場所によっては、全身ビシャビシャ。あっと言う間にダイヤモンドヘッド裏の灯台近くまで ココヘッドが見えました。途中 トビウオが ぴょんぴょん そこからUターンして風も落ちついてきてジブセイルもだして アラモアナ沖へ イルカがジャンプ！シェラトン沖では カメが頭を ひょっこり出して こんにちは！ もう 最高のセーリングでした。

季節 風の状況で色々違うので 毎回満足！次回も 乗りたいです。

First time doing this and wow! The staff were friendly and fun. Taking a boat ride how can you go wrong, then I was attached to the parachute and Best water view ever! took the dip and to my surprise the water was warm. Ended the vacation on a high note. enjoyed so much all my tropic or island vacation will end on this high note, just higher only went 600 ft. hope the next Captain and crew are as excellent as this Cap and crew.

Since it was my first time, I think it was good to see it at least once. The food was average, but it was served quickly. The fire show was the most impressive.

はじめてだったので、一度は見ておいてよかったかたかと思います。
お料理は普通ですが、しまわれるのが早かった。
ファイアーショウが一番見応えがありました。

Okay, I'm hooked! I cannot wait to get back to Oahu, and get on a board again! The day was great in every way. Austin is an amazing instructor, and a cool dude. I felt safe and confident with him, and was surfing in no time. Absolutely awesome!! I also had the privilege of meeting CJ, and Rachel (Turtle Bay shop). Thank you both for all the encouragement and advice with my plans to make Oahu my home in the very near future. Looking forward to seeing all of you again...and, of course, surfing. Mahalo!

Minus the crazy winds that day the ride was great. But, what was even better were the two guys running the boat! SUPER friendly, fun, and good at what they do. We had a great time - again!! Recommend? YES, absolutely!

Amazing & would highly recommend this hike! We were originally scheduled to do the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail as well, but unfortunately they closed the trail a few days before we arrived. We were notified by the tour company in plenty of time & just went on the hike to Diamond Head. We were refunded the difference & everything else went off without a hitch. We were a little confused about the pick up location, but the driver took the time to call us & guide us to the right area. Job well done guys! Mahalo!
